OCALA, FL -
I tried to concentrate. I tried to put myself in the position of a young man who
was probably scared out of his wits, coming close to freezing to death and

young man in that position twenty years before my birth.

As hard as I tried, I could not mentally transform the blue
skies and puffy clouds over central Florida into a bleak winter night in the
skies over Nazi Germany.

and what can south county shoppers expect from the future?
